ETC is making plans to expand our performing arts program. In doing so we will be moving the theater, choir, music, dance, and/or forensics classes to Tuesdays and/or Thursdays. This will give us more time and classroom space to develop bigger and more professionally led productions.
One of the ways we are doing this is by formalizing a partnership with Rejoice! Ballet Academy of Bentonville.
If you have a student who is currently enrolled in a Wednesday ballet or worship dance class or who would like to be considered for a place on this newly forming team please following this audition registration link to sign up for a opportunity to meet with the lead teachers at our June Community day on June 18.
This audition will help us determine which classes to offer and who will be in those classes. Our hope is to provide:
Fun & Foundations Ballet: A beginner-friendly introduction to classical ballet serving students who show natural grace, coordination, flexibility, focus, and a willingness to work hard and listen to instruction.
Worship Dance: A creative, faith-inspired dance class rooted in expressive movement to contemporary worship music for students who are mentally present, focused, coordinated, and eager to participate, regardless of prior experience.
Class Schedule, Cost & Structure
Classes will be held at ETC's Bentonville Campus.
Thursday ballet and worship dance classes will be team-taught by two of our talented young adult students from our pre-professional ballet program, using our curriculum and methods. The young adult teachers will be guided by our more seasoned academy instructors.
Tuition: $300 per student, per semester-long session (16 sessions).
